THE MYSTERY OF THE MISSING LETTERS

 

No, svAmi, NO. Definitely this is not an extract from either sherlock holmes or Agatha christie.

 

The tamil grammar is as old as the language. The syntax therein have been laid out eons earlier.

Here adiyean hasten to add that this is not a write up on thamizh ilakkaNam.

 

Devotees would have observed that some letters in a word my not exactly match with the meter of the poetic lines -pAsuram.

 

There is indeed a rhyme and reason for this. The letter may thus be adjusted or altered to fit in to adapt to the requirement of the concerned pAsuram.

 

For instance, the first pAsuram of the second ThriuvAimozhi talks about relinquishing everything and surrenderign at the feet of the Lord of Vaikuntham.

 

This should read as 'vidu min muRRavum vidu seidhu -vummvuyir vEDudaiyan idai vEDu seiminEa'
